“Yes, just one thing. Yesterday, I was able to attend a press conference where we learned about a $16 million archery course that is jointly funded between the Easton Foundation and Fish and Game. with the state of Florida, and that's going to be out at Tenoroc.

“Yeah, just for the discussion, and again, this letter is obviously a public record, but to get a letter from the state agency that says, quote, alarmingly, we have noted a trend of non-cooperation, questionable fiscal management, and in some cases, outright deception by President, and it names her.
